When do we serve communion?
Martin Luther reveled in that promise of forgivenness and eternal
life as he came to the Lord's table on a daily basis. He said he needed that
reminder and promise every single day! And so at St. Mark, we offer Holy Communion
at every Sunday worship service (Also offered as a part of festival worship
services on Easter and Christmas Eve and others.). We hope and pray that you
will feel blessed and comforted as you join with the gathered faith community
as the table.
What styles of worship do we offer?
Sunday morning is mostly blended worship making use of both traditional
and contemporary liturgies and songs. Wednesday night worship is a modern

different with contemporary songs and messages brought forth in a variety
of ways.
